Hello all,
I have this Pilot lever filler I am curious about. Can someone tell me the model and approximate age of this pen? The nib is badly bent. I had a nibmeister look at it in Atlanta and he recommend a replacement and felt it was beyond repair. Does anyone have a source for a replacement nib. Even bent, this one is very flexy.

Thank you in advance.

Hiya!

There is a thread, and the dude who runs the thread knows someone in Europe who can retip stainless steel nibs.

Do not give up that nib, though. I have been able to bend two modern Pilot Capless nibs back that seemed beyond repair. Sure, a wound will remain, but both do write normally again. You might give that a try as there is not much to lose at this point anyway. Be careful and stick to wooden thingies like the wooden ice cream grip instead of metal pliers and such as the risk to destroy and scratch something is bigger the harder the material is.
